At the Tripartite Stakeholder Leadership Summit in 2003, the

mining industry agreed that an action-driven plan was necessary

to ensure significant improvements in mine health and safety

performance.

The mining industry developed the targets that must be achieved

by 2013. The key themes of the actions that were identified are:

Strengthening culture of health and safety

Promoting a learning industry and building capacity

Making workplaces safer and healthier

The year 2013 is the time for reporting and to review performance

against the set targets

Occupational Safety Fatalities and InjuriesMilestones

Industry Target: Zero

rate of fatalities and

injuries

In the Gold Sector: By 2013, achieve safety performance levels equivalent

to at least current international benchmarks for underground

metalliferous mines

In the Platinum, Coal and Other Sectors: By 2013, achieve constant and

continuous improvement equivalent to at least current international

benchmarks

Occupational HealthMilestones

Industry Target:

Elimination of

Silicosis

By December 2008, 95% of all exposure measurement results will be below

the occupational exposure limit for respirable crystalline silica of0.1mg/m3 (these results are individual readings and not average

results)

After December 2013, using present diagnostic techniques, no new cases

of silicosis will occur amongst previously unexposed individuals

(Previously unexposed individuals = individuals unexposed prior to

2008, i.e. equivalent to a new person entering the industry in 2008)

Industry target:

Elimination of Noise

Induced Hearing Loss

(NIHL)

After December 2008, the hearing conservation programme implemented

by the industry must ensure that there is no deterioration in hearing

greater that 10% amongst occupationally exposed individuals

By December 2013, the total noise emitted by all equipment installed in any

workplace must not exceed a sound pressure level of 110dB(A) at any

location in that workplace (includes individual pieces of equipment)
